I think it is Telal Asad who wrote an article on the subjective ways the west moralizes killing. Beheading people is somehow worse than blowing them up at a distance.

The difference is that Hamas is intentionally killing babies.
Israel drops bombs, and kills babies, but would avoid it if they could.
There is no double standard IMO. If the IDF had crossed the border into Gaza and came upon a rave, they woudn't have kidnapped, raped, and executed all the young women they could get their hands on.
Hamas did exactly that - regardless of if they were Jewish or not. That's what happens when your "army" is raised in a society that represses women and teaches them that non-muslim women are sub-human.
